Systems and methods enable the provisioning of security as a service for network slices. A network device stores definitions of multiple security assurance levels for network slices based on security parameters of assets used in the network slices. The network device stores multiple network slice templates, wherein the multiple network slice templates have different security assurance levels, of the multiple security assurance levels, for a Network Service Descriptor (NSD). The network device receives a request for a network slice with a requested security assurance level, of the multiple security assurance levels, for the NSD, and deploys the network slice using one of the network slice templates that has a security assurance level that corresponds to the requested security assurance level. The network device monitors the security parameters of the assets of the network slice for changes to the security assurance level of the deployed network slice.

Disclosed are embodiments for injecting sidecar proxy capabilities into non-sidecar applications, allowing such non-sidecar applications to communicate with a service mesh architecture. In an embodiment, a method comprises receiving a request to instantiate a proxy for a non-sidecar application at a service mesh gateway (SMG). The SMG then instantiates the proxy in response to the request and broadcasts network information of the non-sidecar application to a mesh controller deployed in a containerized environment. Finally, the SMG (via the proxy) transmits data over a control plane that is communicatively coupled to the mesh controller.

Sidecar proxy as a service

A method may include receiving, at a network device, a registration request that comprises a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI) associated with a particular user equipment (UE) device. The network device determines whether the SUCI indicates a request for null-scheme network access; and retrieves a scheme authorization parameter for the UE device when it is determined that the SUCI indicates a request for null-scheme network access. The scheme authorization parameter indicates whether the UE device is authorized for null-scheme access to a service provider network. The network device determines whether the UE device is authorized for null-scheme network access based on the retrieved scheme authorization parameter and performs processing associated with null-scheme network access when it is determined that the particular UE device is authorized for null-scheme network access.

The present invention covers a swing trainer arrangement for providing recognizable signals to the user/holder of a sports club or racket to indicate the optimum swing and strike locations during playing with a ball or puck. The swing trainer arrangement comprises a first stopper and a second stopper each may be adjustably arranged to be supported at a selected location of a shaft or handle of the sports club or racket. At least one movable member is arranged to be slideably disposed between the first and second stoppers to generate a signal when they hit one another of a stopper as to indicate certain preferred arcuate swing locations of the shaft or handle during such play thereof, or indicate to the user as to inaccuracies of that swing when a sound is produced before or after the club swings through an optimum location for hitting a ball, puck or the like.
